newborn photos

You will want to capture this chapter in your life and look back on this sweet and intimate time with your newborn baby. I'm honored to photograph these unforgettable
moments that you'll cherish.

I'm a lifestyle newborn photographer instead of a styled newborn photographer. The session will be more like your family hanging out with the baby. I'll capture the snuggles and cuddly moments. I will also get detailed photos of the baby. However, I won't be bringing a ton of props or anything. Think more snuggles and cuddles instead of baskets and blankets during your in-home newborn session.

Either you are expecting or you already had your baby. And, guess what? I am beyond excited for you. The newborn season of life is tiring, magical, confusing, exhausting, messy, wonderful, incredible, and unreal as you get to know the newest addition to your family. I've been through it twice and I want to tell you this ...

Sweet baby snuggles and cute family moments

Lifestyle photos in the comfort of home

You can check out my services page to view the packages I offer (30-minute, 60-minute, and 90-minute sessions). For in-home photos, it's usually best to go with the
60-minute or 90-minute session.

Q: Why should I have newborn photos taken?

A: With all of the "to do" items on your newborn list, make sure "schedule newborn photos" is one of them, especially in-home lifestyle newborn photos. Why? Because you'll want to always remember those early days of long snuggle sessions, wrinkly feet, tiny hands, countless feedings, and endless cuddles. Yes, you might not be feeling your best (read: that lovely no sleep feeling), but trust me when I say you'll want photos of your newborn as you welcome the sweet baby into your home.     

Q: Should I have the photo session in my home? 

A: Yes! Although I'm a big fan of running through fields, splashing in streams, and going on adventures for photo sessions, I also love the time spent at home with the family. Shooting these sessions in the comfort of your home allows for parents to have all the resources, making everyone (including the baby) feel more comfortable and relaxed. Plus, the photos are real life. Whether it’s your dog checking in on their new sibling in the crib or parents rocking baby to sleep in a chair, the session will truly reflect this wonderful (and a little crazy) time in life.  

Q: When is the best time to schedule a newborn photo session?

A: Typically, these sessions are best within the first 14 days after birth. However, I know things happen. So, if you need a few more days, then that's totally fine. Just keep in mind that day 8 is the sweet spot.  

Q: Will my photos be posted on your site or social media?

A: I respect your privacy and allow each client to decide whether or not they want their photos displayed publicly. I’d love to show off you & your images if you’re comfy with that. If not, that's okay, too

Q: What if my home doesn't look like a "Pinterest home"?

A: Your home is your home. Plain and simple. I bet it is lovely. Your home is just that. A home. It should be lived in. Just tidy up a bit (read: hide the clutter) and we'll be good to go. Shove those extra burp cloths in a basket, clear off some of the nightstands, and open up curtains to let in all of that beautiful natural light. 

Q: Will you use Photoshop to hide any spots, wrinkles, etc.?

A: Minor edits will be made to all of your images, but I believe our imperfections are what make us beautiful & unique. If there are specific edits you want, then please be sure to let me know. I'll do my best to accommodate.
